SF ROBOTICS-AI COMPANY PARTNERS WITH AMAZON ON NEXT GENERATION OF RECYCLING

Glacier, a robotics and artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco, has garnered significant attention for its efforts to decarbonize, fueled in part by a major boost from online retail giant Amazon. The company's ambitious mission centers around ending waste by focusing on recycling, particularly by developing technology to streamline the sorting process for recycled materials.

Despite ongoing efforts in the field of recycling, challenges persist in efficiently reclaiming and repurposing large volumes of waste. Glacier highlights the staggering amount of waste generated by Americans each week, totaling 1.4 million tons sent to recycling facilities. Co-founders Rebecca Hu and Areeb Malik bring their backgrounds from Big Tech to Glacier, where they aim to leverage cutting-edge technology to address critical environmental challenges. Their focus on applying advanced technology to tackle pressing issues underscores the potential for innovation to drive sustainability efforts forward.
